B:Oh, I see. But I think you are making a fuss. They will make it up. Bet it.

哦，我知道了。不過我覺得你有點大驚小怪了。他們會和好的。我確信。

地道表達：

bag and baggage

講解：該習語爲軍事用語，指“士兵的隨身行李和財物”。現在隱申爲“帶着全部東西，完全地，徹底地”。

支持範例：

tenant left, bag and baggage, without paying the rent.

她的房客未付房租就帶着全部財物離去了.

week he cleared out bag and baggage;the room is now quite empty.

上週他把所有東西都搬走了，那房子如今空空如也。

house was vacated bag and baggage in a matter of hours.

這幢房子在幾個小時裏就全部騰出來了。

right, if you won't pay the rent, out with you, bag and baggage!

好吧，要是你不付房租，就收拾起你的東西滾吧！
